My grandfather just called and told me a huge yacht just docked at the marina where he keeps his boat near Kiawah Island. He told me the name of the 150+ foot yacht was "privacy" and that rumor around the marina was that it belongs to Tiger. I looked it up on google and the rumors are true, but most of the things I read were about Tiger wanting to sell it for 20 million. Does anybody know if he ended up selling it, or losing it in the divorce? Also, I will be staying on my grandfathers boat at the same marina and was wondering if y'all thought I could/should try to meet Tiger and maybe ask for a picture with him or something.

Yeah, that's Tigers yacht.   It's a Christensen 155 and he listed it last year for $25M but according to a yacht broker friend of mine it is still for sale.     He offered it to Elin as part of the settlement but she turned it down as the upkeep costs are too much.

Here's a cool link showing where the yacht is at this moment: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?mmsi=319164000 Commercial vessels and larger yachts carry AIS tracking, and the marinetraffic.com website shows real time position for AIS-equipped boats around the world.   On the page at the link above, if you click on "Current Vessel Track"  or the Lat/Long link it will take you to a map showing where the boat is right now; the vessel track link also shows it's track over the last 24 hours (pretty cool if the boat is moving).

Sure, snorkel over sometime next week and 'pass howdy'. Maybe he'll invite you in for a burger and beer. Wish him the best for me.

The walkways bewteen tees during the tournament is the best place.

Just position yourself, say,between the 14th and 15th on Sunday and he, along with the other players will willingly and cheerfully oblige.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Normally I'd advise against it, but he seems to be in a really good mood this week, so why not?

Just how close do you think Woods' security people would let strangers get?  Doubt they would be giving free tours.

Upkeep on that large of a yacht has to be ridic.  My wife works for an exec here in Newport and his upkeep on a 45ft 'yacht' is insanely high (according to my W2)... Low end figures, the exec she works for, has $50K in just fuel budgeted per year - and another $100K for maintenance and staff.  And the staff isn't full time.  I'd imagine a yacht that size - would need a full-time staff?

According to prior listings Privacy carries a crew of 12 and it was reported the annual operating costs about $2M.     A typical rule of thumb is about 10% of the purchase price for the annual operating cost; I've found that pretty spot on with every boat I've owned too (although mine are waaaay smaller than Tiger's!)

Given the lifestyle that led Tiger to having to sell his yacht, perhaps the yacht previously owned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei would be appropriate - he had a 180 foot Feadship named "Tits", and the yacht's two tenders were named "Nipple 1" and "Nipple 2".     Fortunately, she was sold and renamed "Samax" so the megayacht harbors are no longer graced with her tacky presence.

We all know why he named it privacy but really.....that's a lame name, I bet we could come up with something better.

He has purchased another smaller boat that he named "Solitude".      Seems to be a trend - first "Privacy", then "Solitude".     I can picture his next ones as "Secluded", "Hiding Out", and eventually "Reclusive Hermit Who Yells at Kids to Get off His Lawn".

So did you and Tiger pop bottles together, last night?

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
